Say..

what do you think of making a game like nwn except for space battles/exploration?
the key would be to have toolset so that players can build their own galaxies/worlds, spacecraft, not sure about individual worlds yet.

I guess we could use Traveller but that is really huge..

I remember Talon once mentione din the arena that it might cost about GBP 700,000.

Is it worthwhile? I know there's other big space mmorpgs but this oen will be toolset driven.. and we dont pay for the servers.. the comunity does it..

Anybody wanna join up? I can get funding i think....


(oh yeah .. im sorry about all my pissweak posts i wuz bored..)

major problem points i see:

1.  not enough tilesets for that kind of thing.
2.  players wouldnt exactly be able to link there own worlds to the server unless they gave them to the host, which could cause a lot of mail for the host and it takes a lot of time to get things all attached etc.
3.  how would it be that the community pay for it?

other points i see:
1.  anyone can open there toolset and make something if they know how to script.

I'm not interested in half thought out ideas.

Gashmo, I suggest you just stop.

Try: Star wars galaxies.

nah.. i dont really like the star wars spacecraft - much prefer the ones from... homeworld or robotech.
